BRUSH-MOUNTING.

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,152, dated December19, 1893.

Application filed January 5, 1893. Serialll'o. 457,884. (No model.)Patented in France July 25, 1892,]:10. 223,224; in AustrialinngaryNovember 10, 1892, and in England November 1 '7, 1892, No. 20,876.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PAUL LOUGHET, a citizen of the Republic of France,residing at Paris, France,have invented new and useful Improvements inBrush-Mountin gs, which are fully set forth in the followingspecification, and for which the following Letters Patent have beenobtained: in France July 25, 1892, No. 223,224; in EnglandNovember 17,1892, No. 20,876, and in Austria-Hungary November 10, 1892.

The present invention has for its object the production as a new articleof manufacture, of brush mountings, made whollyof porcelain orearthenware, and the method and means by which the same may be obtainedwill be herein explained. Such mountings have the great advantage overthose heretofore used, that of not being injnriously aifected by waterand of being easily cleansed. Moreover they are capable of receiving allsorts of decoration, and may be made to be in keeping with otherarticles of toilet, generally made of ceramics.

The annexed drawings show, as a matter of illustration a brush mountingof my manufacture.

Figure 1, is a bottom plan view; Fig. 2, a

transverse sectional view, and Fig. 3, a leogitudinal section of thesame.

To produce these mountings I proceed as follows: First,1 makeseparately, by molding, the plates 0 and D. Both of these plates aresolid, that is to say the holes B, B, B" which appear in the plate D aremade after the two plates are united. The plates are then placed oneagainst the other, and the borders or edges of each are either kneadedtogether while yet in a plastic condition, or they are coated withenamel, which forms the joint. The distance between the two plates ismaintained by ridges, in such a way as to leave horizontal channels A, Aand A" which are necessary for the proper mounting of the bristles. Thisarrangement assures the solidity of the mounting of the bristles in theback of the brush, since the intervals between the two plates 0 and Dbeing quite shallow, the tufts or loops of the bristles will restagainst the bottom of the upper plate 0, and therefore willbepreventedfrom being pushed out, as is the case of brush backs pierced throughout.The piercing of the holes may be efiected after the porcelain has beensubjected to a first or preliminary baking. The mounting prepared asshown in Fig. 3, is then ready for enameling or rebaking, as is the casein other articles of porcelain. The

by any at the known processes.

It is obvious that my process may be modified in some particulars. Thusthe piercing of the vertical holes may be effected before instead ofafter the union of the two plates 0 and D.

What I claim is- 1. A brush-back or mounting composed of two moldedplates of porcelain or earthenware, one of which is solid, the otherbeing perforated for the bristles and cemented or kneaded to the first,substantially as described.

2. A back or mounting composed of two molded plates of porcelain orearthenware, one of which is solid, the other being provided withlongitudinal channels extending to the end of the brush, and withtransverse perforations from the outside of said plate through the sameto the interior channels, and the two plates being kneaded or cementedtogether, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
